B92 privatization above board, says minister
BELGRADE – Serbian Privatization Minister Aleksandar Vlahovic today defended last year’s
recapitalization of independent broadcaster B92, saying that there was nothing illegal in the deal.
Vlahovic was replying to an aggressive campaign being conducted by RTV Pink, the trash ’n’ treasure commercial television empire built during the nineties under the patronage of the Milosevic regime.
“The additional capitalization of the B92 media company was conducted under the old regulations of the Companies Act which were, as everyone knows, valid until July 1 this year,” Vlahovic told a press conference.
“An initiative for the privatization of 43 per cent of the public capital in the B92 media company has been submitted and a
privatization program drawn up,” he added.
Employees of B92 signed their assent to the additional capitalization of the company in March, 2001.
